“…Other rare causes of aneurysm are bacterial infections, Takayasu and Giant cell arteritis (73). Thoracic aorta can be divided into 4 portions: the aortic root (the portion between the valvular annulus and the sinotubular junction, which contains the sinuses of Valsalva, where the coronary arteries originate), the ascending aorta (from the sinotubular junction to the aortic arch), the aortic arch which gives origin to the innominate artery, the left common carotid artery, and the left subclavian artery), and the descending aorta (from the aortic isthmus) which gives rise to paired intercostal arteries from the posterior wall (74,75).…”

flow MRI has emerged as a powerful non-invasive technique in cardiovascular imaging, enabling to analyse in vivo complex flow dynamics models by quantifying flow parameters and derived features. Deep knowledge of aortic flow dynamics is fundamental to better understand how abnormal flow patterns may promote or worsen vascular diseases. In the perspective of an increasingly personalized and preventive medicine, growing interest is focused on identifying those quantitative functional features which are early predictive markers of pathological evolution. The thoracic aorta and its spectrum of diseases, as the first area of application and development of 4D flow MRI and supported by an extensive experimental validation, represents the ideal model to introduce this technique into daily clinical practice. The purpose of this review is to describe the impact of 4D flow MRI in the assessment of the thoracic aorta and its most common affecting diseases, providing an overview of the actual clinical applications and describing the potential role of derived advanced hemodynamic measures in tailoring follow-up and treatment.
